Hi Christian,
due to a Ubuntu bug report [1] I came to realize that the old delta we
had to make the rule working these days seems to do the inverse. With
d/p/debian/scsi-udev-rule applied it has no effect, but dropping it
seems to resolve the issue.
can't reproduce that here:
root@:~# cd /sys/block/sda/device
root@:/sys/block/sda/device# cat timeout
180
root@# dpkg -l | grep open-vm
ii open-vm-tools 2:10.3.0-1~bpo9+1 amd64
Open VMware Tools for virtual machines hosted on VMware (CLI)
So it seems these days the udev rules as provided upstream are good
as-is and we could drop that.
There was a bug report where the upstream were reported as buggy,
resulting in that patch.
https://github.com/bzed/pkg-open-vm-tools/pull/10
So right now I can't see whats wrong with the current udev rules as
they work for me in wheezy/jessie/stretch/buster. Also I don't think
that running /bin/sh to set values in /sys is the appropriate way
if there is a way around that.
So right now I can't see a reason to drop that patch...
Bernd
